@EricBoehlert Listening to the press conference today, I am convinced the media from all outlets hve decided tht doing damage 2the Biden admin is the goal of their reporting. Allegedly these reporters cover the Pentagon yet they ask questions abt threat levels they know can't be answered...
@EricBoehlert Have written this many times- never underestimate the pwr of media 2control narratives.These reporters have a script written & they will pummel pentagon ldrshp eth unanswerable questions then insinuate they're hiding what they can not disclose. 2be sure there are legitimate...
@EricBoehlert problems but we will never know wht is real 2asses or criticize because the media has decided tht ths admin is wrong.Ths is the media's one shining moment&hopefully the public will scrutinize the press as they sort out real problems.Real errors are being drown in rage-mongering🤨
@EricBoehlert Correction - real problems are being drowned out by a media operation with a seek & destroy mission. They do not have concerns about the Afghan or Americans. This is an exercise in media grievance politics. Btw- this tweet thread is about the 082121 pentagon press conference.🤨🧐
@erinbiba@Laurie_Garrett Frankly if CDC left masking guidance in place until they had a handle on national virus spread & vaccinations it would be a clearer message. Telling ppl they don't have 2mask if they live in certain parts of the country doesn't mesh with "viruses have no borders" talk #WearAMask
@erinbiba@Laurie_Garrett Btw- Ppl aren't thrilled to know that scientists & medical professionals don't care if vaccinated ppl get sick as long as they don't come to a hospital or die. That's bad messaging too. Public health doesn't care about individuals but don't rub folks faces in it because we do...
@erinbiba@Laurie_Garrett Everything is ok,unless it's you who is sick aft vaccination.Ppl know 95% isn't 100% so don't gaslight folks 4concerns abt breakthrough cases esp whn the reason is high community spread &the unvaccinated. It's said we're all in ths 2gether &apparently rtn 2masking confirms tht...
@Slate@MalcolmNance Democrats hve bn their biggest enemy for yrs. So-called centrist Dems jumped up 2oppose President Obama. They've bn covered by Dem ldrshp. Perhaps outing thm as the obstructionists they are instead of whining abt the GOP is an honest take on who's blocking progress...
@Slate@MalcolmNance Senate came 2pwr knowing they didn't hve 50 senators.Truth is they lied 2us or they can't count.They ran wth 46 senators not 48 bf Rev. Warnock & Mr Ossoff were added. They dn't hve a working majority& never did.Whining abt the GOP whn you're in chg is cover 4their lack of ...
@Slate@MalcolmNance common purpose.Dems refuse 2do the work 2build a coalition 2meet the needs of their constituents.Poll all you want, exactly zero ppl voted 2elect ppl who seek bipartisanship at expense of the agenda! Let real ppl ask the questions.Folks like wht they got frm the Amer Res Pln...
@WesleyLowery Every time @VP says anything abt racism she will be pelted wth "but you said..."Or someone will reply her comments.Real damage done. If ppl hve an option 2decide if America is a racist country or not why wld any structural changes be needed? How does any legislation pass?🤔🧐..1/
@WesleyLowery@VP What's as damaging is @VP's framing of racism as an acknowledgement of the past. Racism is happening & the structures tht allows it to flourish are strong today. Black ppl are in the process of losing a tenant of citizenship which is the right to vote. Perhaps framing the..2/
@WesleyLowery@VP these new laws in GA,FL&TX as citizenship rights legislation would wake up the segment of our nation tht sleeps through much if this. Any framing of racism as only mentioned in past tense defies reality. @VP pierced the blood-brain barrier with her words. She can't...3/
